Gari has been a wonderful carer over the last two years when she was looking after our mum. She was fully committed to mum and the family and we all became very fond of her. She was very thorough, conscientious and responsible but also cooperative, welcoming and fun to be with. She was a great support to us all during mums final hours. We couldn't have hoped for more positive, supportive and pleasurable care experience. We will miss her.
